"COCOON" - THE NEWEST FASHION GEAR BY JEROME SALAYA ANG

For our extra shot into safety, especially if we are already allowed to go out during this time of COVID 19, noted fashion designer JEROME SALAYA ANG has conceptualized, designed and executed his latest take on Covid fashion with "COCOON."

For this stylized design, Jerome defined "cocoon" as 'to envelop' or surround in a protective or comforting way. To wrap or cloak. This new normal in everyday get-up will help us protect ourselves from any airborne diseases and viruses. Getting closer is no longer a problem and social distancing will be lessened with added protection.

"We are now living at the edge of a new era. The design philosophy was aimed to be more sporty and flexible so that there is more movability factor when it is worn.
And, the sizing is meant to be 'free' and genderless. After all, this is what the future is --- it's all about mobility.
We also considered our weather here so we opted the usage of lightweight material which is of upmost importance."

Ang will be exploring with these types of fabrication that will best suit our weather including it's weight which has to be light. And most specially, it is washable for re-use. For me it would be a very important factor as the climate in the Philippines is very warm.

1. Screen mesh 180mm grade (Please see photos)
2. Crumpled laminated paper sheet
3. Silicon plastic
4. Micro fiber repellant silver back
5. 1 ply taffeta silk

The Cocoon.
A loving embrace.
The covid wardrobe.

Support and buy local.
